Garden City commissioners plan to ask voters between 2004 and 2005 to approve two tax measures. One would re authorize the existing 1/2 cent sales tax, the other would add a 1/4 cent county tax to fund highway upgrades. Officials debate election timing and sunset dates while outlining how funds support street repair and a $54 million four lane project on U S Highway 50.
